Financial technology energy storage investment and management

Should you invest in future energy storage technologies?

Additionally, the investment threshold is significantly lower under the single strategy than it is under the continuous strategy. Therefore, direct investment in future energy storage technologies is the best choice when new technologies are already available.

Is there a realistic investment decision framework for energy storage technology?

Therefore, in order to provide a more realistic investment decisions framework for energy storage technology, this study develops a sequential investment decision model based on real options theory, which can consider policy, technological innovation, and market uncertainties.

How to promote energy storage technology investment?

Therefore, increasing the technology innovation level, as indicated by unit benefit coefficient, can promote energy storage technology investment. On the other hand, reducing the unit investment cost can mainly increase the investment opportunity value.

What is a battery energy storage system?

Battery energy storage system. Battery energy storage systems (BESS) can help address the challenge of intermittent renewable energy. Large scale deployment of this technology is hampered by perceived financial risks and lack of secured financial models.

What is a continuous investment strategy for energy storage technologies?

For current energy storage technologies, the continuous strategy can significantly shorten the investment timing and enable investors to adopt the storage technology as early as possible; therefore, when new technologies are unavailable, the continuous investment strategy is the best choice.

What are the different types of energy storage technologies?

It is possible to divide energy storage technologies into two classes: Generation Integrated Energy Storage system (GIES) and non-GIES. Non-GIES is a grid-scale energy storage comprised of electrochemical energy storage including batteries. Batteries, such as Lithium-ion, have high round-trip efficiency and power along with energy density.
